Accuphase has announced a new product
http://www.accuphase.com/model/ps-1220.html
It is 1kW power correction unit made exactly in the same topology as Avicenna was made.
There is a lot of marketing BS in the “technical” PDF file:

But still it would be interesting to chat with someone who owns this devise. I do not anticipate that it will have interesting sound; I have quite a number of justifications for this assumption, still it would be interesting to see what the new corrector they made.
I do not think we will see them in US. The Accuphase dealers and distributor in US are clueless and the user who would go for it I am sure will be those who but books to match rooms wallpaper. In japans the unit costs 58.000 yens it means the pimps in US will do around 120.000 -140.000 yens. With contemporary exchange rate it will be around $15K-$20K, with no option to try or return it… and it is all just for 1kW of God know what kind results. So, do not think we will see a lot of them in US.
